Recent government data showed cancer remained the leading cause of death in South Korea in 2017, with heart-related illness as the runner-up. More than 285,000 South Koreans died in 2017, which is up 1.7% from a year earlier. This is the largest death toll since 1983, when the government started to compile such data. Of all reported deaths last year, nearly 79,000 people died of cancer, accounting for 27.6% of the total, making it the leading cause of fatality. Suicide accounted for 4.4% of all deaths, but was the leading cause among people in their 30s.
